top tier recruiting classes
Only had 3 redshirtting, but everyone seems to be coming back.
Active for what? We are most likely preseason #1 if we stand pat. Not sure if there is anybody in the portal that would actually improve us, not a lot of stars in the portal this year.
The only position of need is an oppo hitter.
But Ryan hunter, who is said to be the most athletic on the team, is expected to fill that. But experience would be nice.
There’s only 2-3 portal players that I would entertain to come in.

Um, what about Virginia Adriano? She is going to be really good, showed a lot of improvement last season,
I agree that there are very few if any portal players that would make us a better team, even then you don't want to mess up the chemistry/culture. Really like our incoming Freshmen, be interesting to see how they fair in the OH competition.
Most likely we are standing pat for the most part and will have one if not the top team in the country when the season starts.
Forgot Virginia was oppo. TBH in my head had her as outside.
While we lost 4 seniors, bekka was probably the biggest lose, I can see Ryan filling in for landfair pretty well
Hunter is an OPP, so she will be battling with Adriano for playing time, I think our play from the OPP will be pretty good in 26.
Allick could be considered the biggest loss, but she also has the most capable replacement with Ogbechie. Ogbechie has a higher ceiling than Allick and could replace her production next season in her first year of starting.
Landfair is surprisingly where we need the biggest improvement to replace. Landfair was a solid OH and big block. We have plenty of people to replace her, but none have shown to be a consistent hitter, at least not yet. Sigler, Pierce, and Robinson will battle it out, hopefully someone separates and becomes a consistent scorer, but I do expect to see all 3 get some playing time starting the season.
I think Williams and DiVita will redshirt, but you never know, maybe DiVita will compete for OH minutes and Williams for 3rd MB.
I know some are hoping for a terminal OH from the portal, I just don't see it happening, don't really want it either, I think someone will emerge, I'd rather develop than purchase, better for morale, chemistry and future recruiting. I would like to see DBK get a stud server from the portal, love to have a serving sub that is effective. Honestly at this point I'd be surprised if DBK has any activity in the portal, it's awful late to get anyone now.
Virginia is great, but still can try and go find a killer. We lack that
I think Adriano could become that type of terminal pin hitter. Give her all offseason, she made huge strides this season, much better player towards the end. Physically she has the potential.
Hope it happens.
I do think she has the skills and tools.
International/Italy play is a different system and pace than NCAA
From the international players I’ve followed they’ve took a couple years to adjust and fully hit their potential
